Data Governance, Standards, and Interoperability Framework for Farmer Profile and related data in Ethiopia<\/strong><\/h5>\r\nAcatech Technology has been contracted by the Ethiopian Agricultural Transformation Institute (ATI) <\/a>, with funding from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation<\/a>, to develop a Data Governance, Standards, and Interoperability Framework for Farmer Profile and related data in Ethiopia. The first phase conducted a national situation analysis, assessing existing datasets, digital ID systems, legal and policy environments, and current procedures for farmer data collection and updates. It also reviewed platform needs such as offline functionality, data quality monitoring, sustainable financing, and strong data security.\r\n\r\nThe ongoing development phase is delivering key outputs, including a Farmer Data Sharing Policy, Farmer Data Collection and Quality Guidelines, and Compliance, Privacy, and Security Guidelines. These define data classification, access rules, consent management, and shared vocabularies to support responsible data use. The work further includes designing a Farmer Data Interoperability Framework to enable smooth data exchange across agricultural systems, supported by a National Agricultural Interoperability Layer (NAIL), standardized APIs, federated identity management, and processes for interoperability testing and certification.\r\n\r\n\"\" \"\" \"\"[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_progress_bar values=”%5B%7B%22label%22%3A%22Conduct%20comprehensive%20assessments%20%20(Review%20the%20existing%20methods%2C%20Conduct%20%20Interview%2C%20Review%20policy%20and%20legal%20frameworks%20international%20experiences)%22%2C%22value%22%3A%22100%22%2C%22color%22%3A%22bar_green%22%7D%2C%7B%22label%22%3A%22develop%20standards%20and%20guidelines%20%22%2C%22value%22%3A%2285%22%2C%22color%22%3A%22bar_blue%22%7D%2C%7B%22label%22%3A%22design%20interoperable%20data-sharing%20architecture%22%2C%22value%22%3A%2275%22%2C%22color%22%3A%22bar_orange%22%7D%2C%7B%22label%22%3A%22Validation%20%26%20capacity-building%20activities%22%2C%22value%22%3A%220%22%7D%5D” title=”Progress”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”container” css=”.vc_custom_1462284973588{margin-bottom: 15px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]\r\n

Ethiopian National Agricultural Data Hub<\/h3>\r\nEthiopian National Agricultural Data Hub <\/a> Supported by the World Bank Group through the AICCRA project <\/a>. The platform consolidates fragmented agricultural data from over 15 government institutions and external sources into a unified, accessible, and interoperable data ecosystem.\r\nThis platform provides unified access to national agricultural dataset including soil, livestock, irrigation, and crops while supporting data acquisition, curation, integration, harmonization, and visualization. Co-designed through multi-stakeholder engagement, it automatically collects and standardizes data from partner institutions using APIs.\r\nThe system has successfully completed user acceptance testing and was validated during a national workshop. It was officially showcased at the Agriculture and Science Exhibition in the presence of H.E. Dr. Abiy Ahmed and is recognized in the Digital Agriculture Roadmap as a key national digital public good.\r\n\r\n\"\"\"\" \"\"\"\"\"\" \"\"[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”72361″ img_size=”large” onclick=”link_image” css=”.vc_custom_1762152696495{margin-top: 6px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”72223″ img_size=”large” onclick=”link_image” css=”.vc_custom_1762153027967{margin-top: 6px !important;}”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”container” css=”.vc_custom_1462284973588{margin-bottom: 15px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”72217″ img_size=”large” onclick=”link_image” css=”.vc_custom_1762153260783{margin-top: 6px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”72362″ img_size=”large” onclick=”link_image” css=”.vc_custom_1762153505613{margin-top: 6px !important;}”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]\r\n

National Ethiopian Soil Information System<\/h3>\r\nThe National Soil Information System (NSIS) <\/a>, developed by Acatech for the Ethiopian Ministry of Agriculture (MoA), provides an integrated web-based platform for soil and agronomy data management. It enables users to visualize and analyze soil data spatially and supports standardization across data providers.\r\n\u2022 Serves as a national data exchange platform for soil information.\r\n\u2022 Facilitates standardized data sharing and harmonization among contributing institutions.\r\n\u2022 Includes interactive GIS visualization and data query tools for decision support.\r\n\u2022 Supports metadata standards and integration with the Agricultural Data Hub.\r\n\r\nNSIS has been technically and financially supported by different organizations and development partners\r\n\r\n\"\" \u00a0\"\" \u00a0\"\" \u00a0\"\"[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”container” css=”.vc_custom_1462284973588{margin-bottom: 15px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]\r\n

Farm Management Information System (FMIS) \u2013 Early Generation Seed Farming<\/h3>\r\nAcatech designed and implemented of Ethiopia\u2019s first Farm Management Information System (FMIS) for Early Generation Seed Farms under EIAR, following a national feasibility study. The solution combines a web-based MIS with a mobile application to enable real-time, farm-level data collection and management, including block registration, input tracking, machinery use, labor, and climate information adapted to Ethiopian conditions.\r\nThe system was deployed at two EIAR research centers, enhancing operational efficiency and data quality through standardized workflows and offline data capture synchronized to a central platform. Comprehensive training supported researchers and field staff in data-driven decision-making, with technical and financial support from multiple development partners.\r\n\r\n\"\" \"\"\u00a0\u00a0\"\"[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”72153″ img_size=”large” onclick=”link_image” css=”.vc_custom_1762160010776{margin-top: 6px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”72163″ img_size=”large” onclick=”link_image” css=”.vc_custom_1762160026134{margin-top: 6px !important;}”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”container” css=”.vc_custom_1462284973588{margin-bottom: 15px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”72221″ img_size=”large” onclick=”link_image” css=”.vc_custom_1762167887439{margin-top: 6px !important;}”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]\r\n
